Hurricane lines of cyclones can be applied in several air caption and dedusting lines to reduce emissions to under legal emission limits. The type of problem varies a lot depending on the
combination of operating conditions with relevance for the cyclone efficiency collection, predominantly the concentration of dust in the cyclone (mg/Nm3), the particle size distribution (PSD), the real density of the particles and, naturally, the objective in terms of emissions after the cyclones. Efficiency will depend on those parameters and on the
chosen Hurricane line of cyclones. ACS has
experience in several air caption and dedusting applications, including vegetable
coal discharge dedusting (MVD = 80µm; µ=99.4%) or laser cutting of resigned papers (MVD = 5.5µm; µ=94%), among others.

Air Caption & Dedusting

Several industries face problems from dust released during product transportation or
processing. This is the case of the Textile, Wood Processing, Mining, Ink
Manufacturing and other industries.

Frequently, in order
to maintain an appropriate level of particles suspended in the air (usually
measured in Parts per Million by Volume), dust is extracted with air in
strategically positioned caption points and typically recovered in cyclones or
in bag filters.

When filters have to be used to increase capture efficiency, operating problems
may arise, usually due to condensation and particle aggressiveness.

Among other common
demands from clients, the easy cleaning of the deduster is important when there
is rotation of powders processed and the need to recover them.

Clients' needs include an efficient dust aspiration with an efficient and easy cleaning collector, acquirable for a reasonable price, while presenting low maintenance and operating costs.
